TIPS FOR IMPROVED FUEL ECONOMY
STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are
shown on the Entune™ Audio system screen or the navigation system.
The Hybrid Synergy Drive System utilizes a computer-controlled gasoline \
engine
and electric motor to provide the most efficient combination of power fo\
r the vehicle.
To conserve energy, when the brakes are applied the braking force genera\
tes
electricity which is then sent to the traction battery. In addition, the\
engine shuts off
when the vehicle is stopped. The benefits are better fuel economy, reduc\
ed vehicle
emissions and improved performance.
- Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner’\
s Manual.
- When possible, link trips to reduce engine cold starts.
- Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on \
the highway.
- When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking ene\
rgy.
- Minimize use of the air conditioning.

Toyota’s ABS sensors detect which wheels are locking up and limits wh\
eel lockup
by “pulsing” each wheel’s brakes independently. Pulsing release\
s brake pressure
repeatedly for fractions of a second. This helps the tires attain the tr\
action that
current road conditions will allow, helping you to stay in directional c\
ontrol.

Brake Assist is designed to detect sudden or “panic” braking, and \
then add braking
pressure to help decrease the vehicle’s stopping distance. When there\
’s only a split
second to react, Brake Assist can add additional brake pressure more qui\
ckly than
just the driver alone can.

Toyota’s TRAC sensors are activated when one of the drive wheels star\
ts to slip.
TRAC limits engine output and applies the brakes to the spinning wheel. \
This
transfers power to the wheels that still have traction to help keep you \
on track.

maintain control and balance when braking. Abrupt stops can cause a vehi\

stops by redistributing brake force to enhance the braking effectiveness\

There are two types of Toyota floor mats: carpeted and all-weather. Each\
vehicle
has model-specific floor mats. Installation is easy.
To keep your floor mat properly positioned, follow these steps:
• Only use Toyota floor mats designed for your specific model.
• Use only one floor mat at a time, using the retaining hooks to keep\
the mat in place.
• Install floor mats right side up.
Always align the Cmarks

VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing engine p\
ower and
applying brake force to selected wheels.
Toyota’s VSC monitors steering angle and the direction your vehicle i\
s traveling.
When it senses that the front or rear wheels begin to lose traction, VSC\
reduces
engine power and applies braking to selected wheels. This helps restore \
traction
and vehicle control.
